Thanks. I tried that and it does solve the English hyphenation. I was wondering if it affected the Sanskrit hyphenation. Apparently it does. Fortunately, I don't have much Sanskrit in this book. But, there may be ramifications for the Hindi (Braj Bhsha) verse in the appendix. I will look at that. Most are too short for there to be a problem. Some lines are long and may be affected by the lack of hyphenation. If anyone comes up with a solution I would be much obliged. My internet connection has gone south and therefore my response time will be slow for the next few days. I have to go to campus in order to get on the internet.

There's probably a lot more going on, but this seemed to fix the hyphenation errors in the English. It looks as if the Sanskrit isn't hyphenating now, though. More thought required. See attached.
